Revert Back To The Old Google Sites User Interface

By -
Hello! Beckystar from Web Princess fame here .... long time not blog! If you are not getting on with the new user interface that google sites introduced recently you can revert back to the classic style

So here is how to disable the new user interface.




Ok > go to sites.google.com (or go to your google site) and log in with your google account > click on the 'user settings' link which is located under the cog like settings icon in the top right of your browser's page.

Uncheck the box beside 'use the new look'

Remember to save your changes then you are done!

    Thanks for picking this up and posting this great tip. I know there used to be some bugs with Sites and the new interface. Are those still around to your knowledge? If so, what are they?

    Appreciate the post.

So, it might have been several years since I've made a new post on this blog, but that doesn't mean that I've stopped working on Google Sites. This month specifically I have poured hours into designing premium Google Sites templates that go above and beyond the standard offering of Free Google Sites templates . I've enjoyed crafting these themes, utilizing all the new tools available to me on the platform.  Here are some quick screenshots, but if you want to explore the full templates, come on over to my website.

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better

Tip - Using Social Media Buttons

Hey, I'm Web Princess aka Beckystar and welcome to my first blog, thank you Kyle for having me! Using social media buttons to share your site or content is easy and expected by your visitors. Social buttons or icons facilitate the sharing of your site, content or blog and are now a linchpin of social media. It’s not enough to simply produce content these days. Your fans (hooray for them!) want a gizmo (I prefer gizmo to gadget) in place to allow them to share what they have read or seen with their family, friends and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter etc. Lucky for us there are some great tools out there. Next I have featured my top 3. 1. AddThis is my favourite. All you have to do is join, and it's free! However it does not work on google sites. All is not lost as good news! The amazing guys at AddThis have provided us with a google sites gadget. Go to your site, hit edit page and place your cursor where you want your social media buttons. Click on insert then more gadgets, in
